Faith, Hope, and Love

"We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God." - 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4 NKJV

Reflection
Faith without works is dead, but works of faith are powerful. Love fuels our labor and makes it steadfast, while hope strengthens and anchors us. Under pressure, our true faith shines through, seen in forgiveness, patience, and peace. In Christ, we witness the works of the Spirit replacing the works of the flesh.

Application
Live out your faith with works that glorify the Lord. 
Labor in love, serving others as led by the Lord. 
Look into your future with unwavering hope.  

Connection
Thank You, Lord, for the faith, hope, and love poured into my heart by the Holy Spirit. Help me live in their power every day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
